Rams Enter Monday Night With One Offensive Question That Changes Everything

Expect standout performances and strategic gambles in tonight's Rams-Giants clash as top players like Davante Adams and Blake Corum are set to make major impacts.

Monday night in Los Angeles sets up as the kind of game fantasy players love to circle: the Rams hosting the Giants in a matchup expected to be up-tempo and score-friendly. That makes the PrizePicks board especially interesting, and there are a few spots that stand out tonight.

One of the cleanest looks is Devin Singletary on the ground. I have him projected for 5.5 rushing attempts and a little over 23 yards, and the usage from Week 1 backs that up.

Singletary handled six rushing snaps and got the carry on every one of them, which was four more rushing snaps than Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants, meanwhile, don’t appear to trust Tracy much after his poor 2025 pass-blocking performances.

The matchup also works against New York. The Rams are one of the league’s better run-stopping teams, while the Giants profile as a middling run-blocking group. Even if Singletary only gets four carries, 15-plus yards is well within reach.

Kyren Williams is another rushing angle worth considering. The Rams are favored by a touchdown, they’re coming off a Week 1 loss to the 49ers, and they get the benefit of being at home with a four-day rest edge over the Giants.

New York also has to make a three-time-zone trip for the game. I have the Rams rated as the NFL’s best rushing offense, and the Giants sit in the bottom half against the run.

Williams is projected for 61.4 rushing yards, and a big play feels very much in play here. With some variance in the matchup, plus-money options make the most sense.

The biggest wrinkle on the passing side is Puka Nacua. As of late morning local time, the Rams still didn’t know whether he would play.

The expectation is that he’ll go through pregame warmups and then a decision will be made. That leaves two possibilities: limited action or no action at all.

Adam Schefter’s latest update made the situation sound shaky.

That uncertainty matters for Davante Adams. With Nacua projected in, I have Adams at 66.2 receiving yards on 7.9 targets and 5.1 catches.

If Nacua is ruled out, that projection climbs. For now, it makes sense to attack the line before it moves.

If Nacua is out, Adams at 70-plus yards is still a number worth considering.

Blake Corum also deserves a look. He’s projected for 11.3 rushing attempts, 48.6 rushing yards, and 0.6 touchdowns, with his touchdown probability sitting at 44.4%. That lines up pretty neatly with the market.

The workload from Week 1 helps explain why. The Rams ran only 28 rushing snaps on offense, and Corum was on the field for 10 of them, just one fewer than Kyren Williams.

His red-zone role also points to a meaningful scoring chance. In 2025, Corum had 25 red-zone rushing attempts, about half of Williams’ total.

In 2026, that split is expected to tighten. Corum should average around 2.0 red-zone rushing attempts per game, and if he repeats his 2025 rate of scoring on 20% of those chances, he’d land just under 50% of the time, right in line with that 44.4% estimate.

Rams Hit With Another Frustrating Issue Ahead Of Giants Game

The Rams are trying to steady themselves after dropping their season opener to the 49ers, and the week has already brought a fresh layer of frustration. Two players were fined for separate penalties from that game, a reminder that the opener not only ended in a loss but also left the team dealing with discipline issues as it turns its attention to the Giants.

Tyler Davis was fined $6,225 for a hit on Brock Purdy that involved contact to the head and neck area, while Nate Landman was docked $11,111 for unnecessary roughness tied to helmet use. The money from both fines will go to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation, but for a Rams team looking for a cleaner start, the bigger concern is limiting the kind of mistakes that pile up before a tough stretch can really settle in.

Rams Send A Clear Message About Their Linebacker Concerns vs Giants

The Rams kept shoring up their linebacker room ahead of Monday nights matchup with the Giants, activating Elias Neal from the practice squad as they continue to manage some uncertainty at the position. Omar Speights and Nate Landman have both been dealing with injuries, but both are expected to be active, which gives Los Angeles a little more stability in the middle of the defense entering a game where depth could matter.

Neal, an undrafted free agent signed in 2024, gives the Rams another body for a group that has been tested by the injury report and a useful presence on special teams. Even with Speights and Landman trending toward playing, the decision to bring Neal up underscores how carefully the Rams are handling the linebacker spot as they prepare for the Giants.

Rams Have One Monday Night Scoring Edge Fans Should Watch

Monday night gives the Rams another chance to lean on the same offensive pieces that shaped their opener, with Kyren Williams and Blake Corum both drawing attention in the scoring market. Los Angeles has reasons to believe it can create chances against a Giants defense that showed some early vulnerability, and the setup points to another game where the Rams backs and playmakers could matter in the red zone.

Malik Nabers and Jaxson Dart are among the New York names to watch on the other side, but the Rams biggest edge may come from how they manage the scoring opportunities that appear in the first place. Week 1 offered enough defensive questions for both teams to make this feel less like a clean matchup and more like a game where one early finish near the goal line could set the tone. [Read more 🡒]
